My new book Justinia is creeping its way along the publishing process. It has gone for editing/formatting. Will be a long time before there is any more news but at least it's progressing

New Book - Justinia

I have been lucky enough to have a new book taken on by Little Acorn Press for publication. Justinia is my first book for older children and should be out beginning of 2012.

Recently I entered a competition here in Christchurch. I submitted a short story and I'm pleased to say that it was chosen as one of the winners. I have just received a WHSmith gift card as a prize, which was a bonus because I didn't even know there was a prize when I entered!

The authorhotline has published the competition winners stories, so I have a story on line. The children had to write a story opener which was then completed by an author. I was lucky enough to finish a story and it can be found on www.authorhotline.com

Got email from my publishers and there seems to have been a problem with my page proofs, hence the delay in getting my book out. Hopefully I'll hear from them next week and will know a new time frame for getting the book finished!
